Optimal crop planting schedules and financial hedging strategies under ENSO-based climate forecasts
This paper investigates the impact of ENSO-based climate forecasts on optimal planting schedules and financial yield-hedging strategies in a framework focused on downside risk. In our context, insurance and futures contracts are available to hedge against yield and price risks, respectively. Furthermore, we adopt the Conditional-Value-at-Risk (CVaR) measure to assess downside risk, and Gaussian...
متن کاملShort survey Scaling-up crop models for climate variability applications$
Although most dynamic crop models have been developed and tested for the scale of a homogeneous plot, applications related to climate variability are often at broader spatial scales that can incorporate considerable heterogeneity. This study reviews issues and approaches related to applying crop models at scales larger than the plot. Perfect aggregate prediction at larger scales requires perfec...
متن کاملCrop Growth Simulation Models
1. Introduction Systems approach has been used by engineers since the 1950's for the study of complex and dynamic processes but their use by scientists working in biological fields is relatively recent. A system is defined as any well delineated part of reality which may contain a number of interrelated elements forming the systems structure. These functioning components interact in various way...
متن کاملCrop and pasture response to climate change.
We review recent research of importance to understanding crop and pasture plant species response to climate change. Topics include plant response to elevated CO(2) concentration, interactions with climate change variables and air pollutants, impacts of increased climate variability and frequency of extreme events, the role of weeds and pests, disease and animal health, issues in biodiversity, a...
متن کاملOperational seasonal forecasting of crop performance.
Integrated, interdisciplinary crop performance forecasting systems, linked with appropriate decision and discussion support tools, could substantially improve operational decision making in agricultural management. Recent developments in connecting numerical weather prediction models and general circulation models with quantitative crop growth models offer the potential for development of integ...
